Subject: [Indoor_Construction] Rubber strip, was How small can you go?
Phedon,
I've got a rubber stripper. That's the only way I've been able to get rubber
thin enough to even fly it (or any other of my indoor ships, for that matter).
I'm at the limit of that instrument's capabilities, though. Rubber less than
.010 thick is insanity I guess.
So...for those of you who have higher end rubber strippers, how thin can you go
and get consistent results? Mine is the Peck Stripper, but I've heard there are
others that can provide more precise cuts.
